Dear Wilkins families,
We have had a wonderful week filled with fun activities and
special visits. On Monday the ELC came together in the Town Square to celebrate
Chinese New Year. The Prince Alfred College Year 12 international students dressed and
did the traditional lion dance. This dance represents good luck, long life
and wisdom. Following our special show Miss Kym in the kitchen made us some
Chinese noodles.
On Tuesday, Wilkins and Langley classes joined to celebrate Shrove
Tuesday by making pancakes. Shrove Tuesday is the last day of
indulgence before Christians traditionally move into a 40-day period of
abstinence that marks the lead up to Easter. Mrs Jess brought in her fry
pan and we had a lovely picnic.
Finally Thursday, we had a visit from Monster Slam who are showing
at the Adelaide Showgrounds. The children were given an up close look at the
truck and Rusty told us how important it is to wear our seatbelts!
We have been really enjoying getting to know all the new families
and our new Wilkins friends. We wish you a happy weekend!
From Miss Georgia, Miss Ellen, Mrs Nicole, Mrs Jess and Miss
Kim
